Glamour [Dark Silver] (Гламур)

Usually we try to release updates closer to the start of every month, but we had to delay this one for a bit since I had a mini vacation. Which is also the reason why this month didn't have many news, we focused all our work on 0.21 so it will be released in December for every Patron tier. Thankfully, the update itself wasn't hurt by the vacation.
0.21 is a story heavy update. It's really hard to describe without spoiling anything, so that was pretty much the change log :) Skip the rest of the paragraph if you want to avoid spoilers. We mapped this story over a year ago, and we're excited to finally share it with all of you. It's related to Julia's fitness club, college, and Candy. The hotel got a new resident Neil. Unlike most characters in the game, Neil is an episodic character and his entire storyline starts and ends in 0.21. At some point in the story players will have an option to choose a long and pretty intense sex scene (periodic, too), which will also allow Kate to earn some money.
Most of the new images are 18+, so we can't show any of them without marking the post Patrons only. We realize this post might look like we've just released the smallest update ever, but this post's length is not indicative of the update's size :)
As you might remember, 0.20 had a hint system, helping players to meet requirements to unlock new content. We have a similar system for 0.21, too.
Now, about 0.22. It's going to be focused on Max. This time we're aiming for two smaller storylines: mostly around Lisa, Kira, and Ann. A good chunk of the story beats will be really different from BB, hopefully for the better. We're not going to set any strict deadlines, but we'll try to release it as early as possible. Definitely sooner than this one. We will also try to post a lot more new images and news.

Every time we release a new update, we get questions about prerequirements to unlock new content. In order to make this process less convoluted, we've decided to make a "smart" quest in the quest log. It's called "0.20 (spoilers)", and it will tell you what requirements you've met, and what things still need to be done. Once you meet all requirements, the game will replace it with a traditional quest telling you about the next step.
Home punishment system. If Kate doesn't do her homework or talk during class, she will be sent to the principal's office. If she skips that, she will have to be punished at home, and Julia will be happy to help Kate out. Most of the update is related to the punishments, so this storyline has many steps and at some point will unlock the option for Kate to submit to Julia, Nick, or both. For now once Kate submits it can't be undone because there's no point to go back. But when we add new events where Kate decides to change the rules of the game and try something else, we will add an option to undo the submission without having to replay the whole game.
Random events in the basement. If Kate submits to Nick, once every couple of days Nick and Julia will start having fun in the basement. This is a series of events with the periodic event at the end. These new events will replace Nick and Julia events on the sofa watching TV when Kate returns from college.
In order to see new events, Kate should stay in college until at least 11:00 (or, better yet, until 14:00-15:00), and then go home right away.
New events with Sophie and Alice (as long as Kate had sex with Alice at least once). Alice can now visit Kate's house. In the future we will add an option to invite some characters to stay overnight.
Added sounds to all locations. There might be some issues because we just added it into the game and there are 3455 steps for various events and it's hard to test every last one of them. Please let us know if you find any issues.
You can now name your save files. If you have multiple save files, keeping track on them should be much easier. We also increased the maximum saves number from 10 to 20.
The main menu now displays information about the current version of the game on the server and your current access. Hopefully, this will make more clear if you have the access to the latest version of the game.
From now on you can close some interface menus like profile, inventory, and quest log by pressing ESC. We will add this functionality for some other situations like canceling zooming in (the pool in the villa), in some events, etc. We will be adding them in individual situations to make sure it makes sense and makes UI more accessible and intuitive.
There was a lot of work put into October update so we could release it early. But it's time to take a little break. I've been working on Glamour and Big Brother for three years without any breaks and never took more than one day off in a row. It's time to have a small vacation, I'll be gone for the next 10 days. I'll recharge my batteries and return to developing Glamour with a newfound energy. The rest of the team will keep working on the game, so the development as a whole will still keep going.
